## Executive read

### BLUF

August is a thin month. iRobot’s 5 August Form 10-Q restates that Roomba 700 and Scooba 230 “to date have only been available on our website.” That is a channel restatement, not a new safety file. No official consumer-robot recall was located.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX weekly reports, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated August 2011.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 10-Q (period ended 2 July, filed 5 August) is an SEC channel Fact. It does not invent a Roomba recall and does not supply injury counts.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** XV-15 European pre-order from 5 July may be moving into summer retail; no August official safety page was found to graduate.

### Analytic labels
- **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record
- **Assessment** — analytic judgment
- **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed
- **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap

### Source grades
- **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed
- **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated
- **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums)

## No numbered signals

This month produced **zero** in-window spine-grade signals. The 5 August 10-Q is a restatement and is not numbered.

**Forum / community notes.**
- none found.

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any official IEC / EN particular-requirements publication for robotic battery mowers (prior drafts exist; no 2011 catalog date located).
3. Any educational-kit or companion battery / fire / laceration file.
4. Any official iRobot Roomba recall.
5. First dated consumer-home companion SKU or safety action (a CES demonstrator is not a home SKU).

> **Collection integrity.** Window = August 2011 only. **Excluded:** iRobot Form 10-Q filed 5 August ([getfilings / SEC 10-Q](https://getfilings.com/sec-filings/110805/IROBOT-CORP_10-Q/)) — website-only 700 / Scooba 230, not a recall. No CPSC Roomba or Neato page. No RAPEX robotic-mower alert. No companion / kit battery action. No official IEC / EN robotic-mower particular-standard publication dated August 2011. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
